= Hyperreality in Matrix = The Matrix follows the theorist Jean Baudrillard when it comes to hyperreality. The Matrix uses many references from Baudrillard's book Simulacra and Simulation in 1981. The The Wachowskis use many metaphors within the film. They followed Baudrillard's way of hyperreality by being creative. "Simulacra and and Simulation" which was written by Baudrillard is a 160 page book which is seen in The matrix when neo opens the last chapter entitled "On Nihilism". The filmmakers have used this shot to show the value of The matrix, and it makes use the readers think in what this could represent. It shows us that the book is fake, empty and void. Its shows use that what cover doesn't suggest but an emptiness. Jean Baudrillard and his Philosophy was discussed in S&S. The Matrix itself is showing the contemporary hyperreality and how the controls of the system are methoprically represented in the film. Existential melancholia is used to show how the humans respond to the terrorism and operational construct. In one of the scenes with Morpheus he uses a quote from Baudrillard's first chapter in S&S to Neo. He tells neo and proclaims that our world is no longer "real" and but instead it became a "hyperreal" world. A world that is simulated and is disconnected from what was real before. Now in our western world many people prefer simulation instead of reality. As Simulacrum proceeds many copies will be made until what is original and the originality is trivialized. Many people wonder if The matrix is a representation, no it's a simulation because representations are about something else and can be referred too. Hoover Ever a simulation is a world as a whole be8ing simulated. In simulations you can't determine what is genuine or not because everything is a counterfeit within it. Like Neo’s hacked software hidden in an imitation of a book of philosophy. “The real,” writes Baudrillard in S&S, “is produced from miniaturized cells, matrices, and memory banks, models of control – and it can be reproduced an indefinite number of times from these. It no longer needs to be rational, because it no longer measures itself against either an ideal or negative instance. It is no longer anything but operational.” This is what the Matrix is about. It's about humans being a supply to the world as energy becvuase the world is ran by computers and programs. That's why Morpheus says "you've been living in a dream world. Hyperreality gets us ready for our us to get controlled. Morpheus answers Neo's question "what is the matrix" he mentions that "Control" The matrix is a place to enslave humans race as a scheme or Simulacrum It's showing us what Baudrillard views on society and how we are controlled by the system. Seconds later Neo mentions that he doesn't believe in fate because “I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.” By saying this he is already not control. He is talking about control which is already and illusion because the system controls even to the end. The "Oh Nihilism" is a symbol and has a which has a scheme with the film. Its showing us the world is directionless.

Neo
The plot of The Matrix follows the life of Keanu Reeves' Thomas Anderson, "a program essayist for a decent programming organization" who, around evening time, is a PC programmer passing by the name of "Neo". The word Neo methods (generally) 'new' and is likewise a re-arranged word of 'one'. Both of these implications are critical in deciphering the hyperreality in The Matrix, since the world past the Matrix is new to Neo and he should secure it. He is additionally, 'the One', or the person who will spare mankind from the machines.

Morpheus
Morpheus is named after a Greek god related with rest and dreaming. In The Matrix, he serves to 'wake up' individuals from their rest.

Brain in a Vat
The exemplary cerebrum in a tank relationship is expressly spoken to in The Matrix as the people being utilized as batteries. Their reality is the thing that their cerebrum encounters. In the mind in a tank relationship, a human cerebrum is put in a container and associated with a PC that animates it to introduce pictures and recreations of the world. The mind (along these lines, the individual) just comprehends what the PC tells it. In both the similarity and The Matrix, the cerebrums can't determine what is genuine and what isn't.

White
White is utilized in The Matrix (explicitly in the Construct) to speak to: a world that can never be, yet is; a world that is unpolluted by not one or the other 'the genuine' nor the Matrix.
